twelve dollars bought that we

Cornelius and William X. Vanderbilt
have decided to commence a rather curl
Gus business enterprise, which In its work.
ings is expected to be benevolent, but
which will not have the least appearance
of charity about it. They have bee~vcon-
sidering the plan, which was suggested
by Erastus Wyman, for q long time.
They propose to build a large number of
small houses in the suburbs Of New York
city, with every comfort and convent
ence, and sell them to working people at
cost. The purchaser will be insured
against the loss of the property, IL he
meets with some misfortune before the
whole amount is paid up. The houses
will be sold on the installment plan, in
monthly or yearly payments which will
not amount to more than a fair rental.
The life Of the purchaser will be insured
to the extent Of the unpaid amount Of the
purchase price. The policy will be held
as a mortgage, and il the purchaser dies
the amount Of the policy pays off what is
owing on the house, which is then clear
for the heirs. The scheme is a novel
one, and the Vanderbilts will make an
experiment shortly by erecting fifty
houses on Staten Island, and charging
only a fair price for the property, which
will be sold only to working people. -

Why do 70 many people have crooked
nosesg IL you will observe the features
of the passersby on any crowded street
you will not find al average Of one per-
son to the block whose nose is set straight
upon his or her face. Nearly all are
twisted to n side, and the most curious
thing about il is that 900 out Of every
1000 are inclined In the same direction
namely, 10 the right.
/ asked an eminent Psychologist the
other day why this was so, and he re-
piled that IL was undoubtedly because
people blew their noses, as q rule, with
their right hands. Said he: "Our noses
are TO some extent what we make them.

stellar Influence on Climate.

In q paper to the Liverpool Astronom-
ical society, MI. w. H. 8. Monck sug-
gested lately that the puzzling climatic
variations recorded by the rocks may
have been produced by the near approach
to the earth Of intensely hot stars. This
may have been due TO the travelling Of
the star itself, or to the motion of the
solar system in space. Moving with the
earth's own rate, a celestial body would
traverse in so, 600, 900 years the distance
separating u globe from the most re-
mote Of the 10000, 600 stars visible in
the most powerful telescopes, making it
possible that, with suitable proper mo-
tons, any or every star known may have
visited the solar system during the period
commonly assumed by BIOLOGISTS to have
elapsed since the first dawn Of life. In
tensely hot stars may have added mate
rally to the earth's heat without coming
sufficiently neal to greatly derange the
planetary orbits.-Arkansaw Traveller.

Experiment in Chinese Letters.

Mr.. w. H. Murray, an Englishman,
has been the means of introducing into
China q system Of writing the Chinese
characters in raised print. When we
consider the completely and multitudes
$4,000 of Chinese characters, and re-
member that the smallest Of China's
eighteen provinces is equal in extent to
England (and England has 40, 900 blind,
the vastness of this philanthropic work
will be apparent. Mr.. Murray noted the
actual sounds used in speaking Chinese,
and succeeded in reducing these to 400,
each being represented by a different ar
rangement Of dots. He tried his first ex-
pertinent upon a blind beggar taken from
the streets, and In six weeks taught the
boy to read, and even to write a little.
The fame of this experiment o spread,
and pupils crowded to be taught. The
system was extended to include music.
and to adapt itself to the various dialects
no mean task, since the Bible must be
printed in eight different sets Of charac-
tiers to be understood all through China.
